Your Salsa Pub

Botulinum therapy (shortened to B.tox) is fast becoming a necessity amongst stylish Sydney society and now it has become a grooming essential for numerous individuals in the city.

Yet I am often surprised by the amount of half truths that have originated about this treatment. Here I have outlines a selection of the more popular myths frequently heard at Star Cosmetic Medicine located in Pyrmont, Sydney.

Mistake no. 1: I might not be able to express emotions normally!

Research has determined there are 60 or so muscles beneath the skin of your face. The extended use of these muscles may cause fine lines or wrinkles. If surplus B.tox has been injected the muscles of expression can become less expressive. The amount injected by virtually all doctors will result in you seeming well rested, nevertheless you will continue to look just as expressive.

Thus by employing tiny amounts of the toxin in precisely the right tissues one can have a reduction in any fine lines and wrinkles without compromising facial expression.

Mistake no. 2: B.tox is a poisonous substance!
This to some extent is true. Its scientific term is Botulinum Toxin Type A. An overdose may relax facial muscles that you do not want loosened or can even make you very ill.

But to put matters into perspective: an old chemist’s saying states that ‘everything is a poison - it all depends on the dose’. A large quantity of any medication may cause sickness. Water can be fatal if you drink too much.

Mistake no. 3: It will hurt!
The hypodermic needles we use at Star Cosmetic Medicine have a diameter less than your hair. Several people liken the shots to getting bitten by bugs. Definitely not as sore as getting a regular shot.

Mistake no. 4: I might lose sensation in my face!
This is totally wrong. B.tox acts on the neuromuscular junction, not sensate nerve fibers. B.tox only impacts on the relaxation of muscular tissues.

Mistake no. 5. You must keep getting B.tox or the lines become even worse!
This is also untrue.

A set of injections will last around three months. Consequent injections do last longer. Eventually as muscle strength builds up again, the lines will eventually re-emerge. But they will certainly not be any more pronounced than previously.

Even should you don’t have B.tox ever again - any wrinkles should be smoother than if you had never been treated. Mainly because your facial muscles and skin have had a rest whilst the treatment was working.
